I will go downtown shortly. After learning Iā€™ve apparently killed the MMP. šŸ˜› ---

no, youā€™re not a murderer. It was just pining for the fjords. ---

So I guess Iā€™m not an MMP murderer. Or a mirror murderer either. I remember when a mirror died. I was in Austria with some friends in a hotel room, when a mirror fell off the wall and broke. We discussed it, and decided that none of us were going to have bad luck, be cause we hadnā€™t killed the mirror - it had committed suicide. Though, come to think of it, this was about seven years ago. And now off to downtown. ---

Home from the doctor, all went well and I am cleared for surgery. Also, I lost 7 pounds and I wasnā€™t even trying. Iā€™ve been feeling better and doing more than usual. Sah-son and I loaded up the truck, I have all my books moved, weā€™re almost done. Today was the last trip to the dump as well, all the big boxes are gone. Until I start ordering more stuff. Then I come home, walk in the kitchen and a mouse going whizzing by. I hate mice, hate hate hate mice. Congrats **Doggio** on the promotion! I finished off the meatballs for N.O.L. , I should log in to irk but I think a nap first. I am beyond blurf right now. ---

Just waiting till itā€™s time to head to Virginia. If \*\*FCD \*\*gets home in time, Iā€™ll take the car. Otherwise, itā€™s the truck. So Iā€™ll continue to knit and watch TV. ---

Now I done killded the MMP! :eek: Iā€™s stuffded! Well, not over stuffded but full as a tick. They had chikin livers at the [del]hog trough[/del] buffet. YUM! Anywho, weā€™s both fed and happy now. As we were walkinā€™ out together, mind you, a little old lady came up to us, looked at OYKW, then at me, and then, lookinā€™ right at me, asked me if I would help her step up on the curb to go inside. She said she didnā€™t want to walk all the way down (the entire fifteen feet!) to the curb cut. So I did. OYKW was all, ā€œWhat is it with you and little old ladies? I canā€™t believe she looked at both of us and then asked you, like she thought you would but I wouldnā€™t.ā€ I said, ā€œMaybe you look like the type that would kick puppies and little old ladies.ā€ šŸ˜ƒ I offered to find him a tshirt that says, ā€œKicks puppies and little old ladies.ā€ He said if I found one heā€™d wear it. Weā€™re together because weā€™re too weird for anybody else. ---

I hate the second Wednesday of the month, otherwise known as Get Up At Four, Travel Two Hours Each Way For a One Hour Meeting Then Be So Tired As To Be Disoriented For The Rest Of The Day. Especially when the videoconference doesnā€™t work and I could have just dialed in on the phone from home. ---

[/QUOTE] I can create artwork and send it to people who are good at printing things on bear-size t-shirts, or I can walk said artwork over to the next room and embroider it. One-off printing is kinda spendy, and one-off embroidery gets into really 'spensive and might involve special favors pricing. :eek: ---

Well, I got yelled at today by a parent. For about 20 minutes. I found out what a rotten teacher I am and how my studentā€™s grades reflect my actions and have nothing to do with anything else. I was also told several straight out lies by the same individual if that gives you any idea about their credibility. Even though I know that Iā€™ve got the childā€™s best interests at heart and that I did the best that I could given the circumstances, itā€™s still pretty hard to sit there and listen to that kind of thing. Looking back upon it, there are things I could have done differently, but ultimately the outcome would have been the same. I would have just gotten yelled at sooner rather than later.

Well well well well The City of Hagerstown sent me a nice official letter stating that _my property meets the City definition of a Vacant Residential Property_ and needs to be _licensed in their Vacant Structure program._ They thoughtfully enclosed an application for me to _review, sign and return_ along with a check for $100. An inspection of my property may be required. I wonder how this determination was made? I know we only come out at night, but I swear you _can_ see our reflections in the mirror and we are quite real. ---

Back from BBQ with former boss and some former coworkers. I gotta say, I truly am glad I retired when I did. The idiocy there has gotten worse and people are quitting like crazy. Al said if they had to man round-the-clock, they couldnā€™t do it. We used to do it frequently when I worked there. And the security chief was walked out the door! :eek: Yep, I got out at the right time. Oh, and the BBQ place kinda sucked. Oh wellā€¦ Iā€™m home, so thereā€™s that. ---
